Basically if the Hold function is on, then the Auto doesn't change automatically from that gear into the next.
And it's good for a few extra hundred rpms on the tacho to give you a little boost in power/torque if you need it (at least in the BJ)

The second (Hold) button will prevent the shift into over drive and turn on a HOLD light on the dash.
3 - S - L stands for Low - Second - 3rd. Some people like 123 some like LS3.

Well, not really. It just turns off the overdrive and lets you rev it harder.
Checked + cleaned your seals?

Take a look around the hatch bump stops (pictured) I've seen krud build up there and it could cause an overflow.
